Cocacolonization
Cocacolonization (alternatively coca-colonization) refers to the globalization of American culture (also referred to as Americanization) pushed through popular American products such as the soft-drink brand Coca-Cola. The term is a portmanteau of the name of the multinational soft-drink maker and "colonization". The term was first documented in 1949 in Australia and in France, where the French Communist Party strongly opposed the further expansion of Coca-Cola.
Theories of imperialism
The theory of imperialism refers to a range of theoretical approaches to understanding the expansion of capitalism into new areas, the unequal development of different countries, and economic systems that may lead to the dominance of some countries over others. These theories are considered distinct from other uses of the word imperialism which refer to the general tendency for empires throughout history to seek power and territorial expansion. The theory of imperialism is often associated with Marxist economics, but many theories were developed by non-Marxists.
Ethnocide
L’ethnocide est la destruction de l’identité culturelle d’un groupe ethnique, sans nécessairement détruire physiquement ce groupe (génocide) et sans forcément user de violence physique contre lui (persécution, déportation, enlèvement des enfants).
Transculturation
En anthropologie, la transculturation désigne le processus par lequel une communauté emprunte certains matériaux à la culture majoritaire pour se les approprier et les refaçonner à son propre usage. Ce processus concerne par exemple les rapports entre communauté régionale et nationale, entre communauté marginale et dominante, minoritaire et majoritaire, subordonnée et dominante Le concept de transculturation s'oppose à celui d'acculturation qui est plus ancien, et qui désigne l'absorption de la minorité par la culture dominante.
McDonaldisation
« McDonaldisation » est un terme employé par le sociologue américain George Ritzer dans son livre The McDonaldization of Society (1991) pour désigner la prise des caractéristiques de la restauration rapide par la société. En effet, on observe un glissement du traditionnel vers des modes dits raisonnables de pensée et de gestion scientifique. Là où Max Weber avait fait référence au modèle de bureaucratie pour représenter l'orientation de cette société changeante, Ritzer voit la restauration rapide comme devenue le paradigme de représentation contemporaine.
Christianity and colonialism
Christianity and colonialism are often closely associated with each other due to the service of Christianity, in its various sects (namely Protestantism, Catholicism and Orthodoxy), as the state religion of the historical European colonial powers, in which Christians likewise made up the majority. Through a variety of methods, Christian missionaries acted as the "religious arms" of the imperialist powers of Europe. According to Edward E.
Cultural homogenization
Cultural homogenization is an aspect of cultural globalization, listed as one of its main characteristics, and refers to the reduction in cultural diversity through the popularization and diffusion of a wide array of cultural symbols—not only physical objects but customs, ideas and values. David E. O'Connor defines it as "the process by which local cultures are transformed or absorbed by a dominant outside culture". Cultural homogenization has been called "perhaps the most widely discussed hallmark of global culture".
